The 'scam' seems to be insofar as wealthy and powerful entities can exploit the functional inability of those less wealthy and powerful to meet them on even terms in the legal system. I think we could all agree that in an ideal wo

You just told the other contestant the strategy, making it an us. He has no need to know in advance since you just informed him.

Uncertain if that's true. Prohibition of substances hasn't worked for alcohol or illicit drugs in general. Unlikely to work for tobacco specifically, especially given how easy it is to grow.

Evidently that attitude is what lead to greater likelihood of 'repercussions' that average.

Can I ask where the capital came from? Did you all pool together to fund it? It's a lot of dedication for something that sadly didn't ship.

That information is under pretty tight lock and key in the UK, perhaps for specifically this reason. I'd say the risk is pretty minimal.

This seems like an interesting pendulum swing where the few companies not reliant on AWS could capture significant enough revenue by maintaining uptime during a potential busy season outage.

The rise of Islam was even more tremendous, beginning in Muhammad's 40th year when the archangel Gabriel first began communicating the Quran to him, and becoming the largest religion in Arabia by the time of Muhammad's death 22 y

There's no such thing as 'innate' intelligence in the sense of not changing over time. Trivially, your IQ is benchmarked against a norm of people your own age, with the absolute value of correct results changing considerably

So it can be avoided by compiling the code yourself?

Almost all evidence suggests that decriminalization or even full legalization is the path for substance legislation. Anyone believing criminalization to be an efficacious way to reducing drug addiction or related damages has either buried t

Perhaps try to build your own and run that instead? To be honest I think you'd learn more about how to buy a business than how to run one if you bought one instead.

To be frank I don't know if there's any serious 'workflow' involving ebooks that doesn't involve using calibre or equivalent software to ensure they're DRM free and in the format you want.

That seems so different to my own experiences. I think I can visualize fairly easily and it's very much a 'mental' thing, distinct from 'seeing'. If I had to describe the location it would probably be a few inches b

It's decisively ahead of Unity for 2d for me at this point, and catching up with 3d. The few times I've had issues I've been able to start a PR and it's generally merged pretty quickly. Way better than depending on Unity

It's arguably impossible to eat what we would have eaten as cavemen given how essentially every food has been subject to thousands of years of domestication and cultivation, rendering it relatively distinct from its distant wild ancest

Arguably this is too 1-dimensional a description to be able to say. Having learned Python before Java, spending time with the latter has only helped me understand Python's simplicity. That said, if it was the other way around this same

The change is gradual however. You don't wake up one day at 25 having drastically changed neuroplasticity overnight. Being healthy and in shape also seems to be important, as well as continuing to learn new skills and engage in novel a

I'm relatively young and for me Emacs isn't a fossil just because there isn't a better alternative I've found for taking notes than Org mode. This is especially true if you want to embed LaTeX or code into your notes (an

Arguably articles should be taken more on their ability to provide a relevant place for a particular discussion on HN, rather than the quality of article itself. This was a topic I was interested in and wanted to see what the HN demographic

I had this happen to me at a company recently. They were initially impressed with my linux knowledge and how I could port many of the processes they were previously confined to windows with. However, they had an unusual server setup, and wh

This is perfect for me, I recently made the project OS for Nand to Tetris and have been learning systems programming with Rust. I wish there was a way to find resources like this more easily than scouring HN or trying to sort through google

The problem is privileging technologies that have defence capabilities. There are likely countless ideas that could have similar success to DARPA projects if they had similar access to capital and state support. However, unless it can show

It's interesting that Hungarian is one of the few Uralic languages in modern Europe, alongside Finnish and Estonian as the other 2 major representatives. Finland and Estonian could be argued to have enjoyed outsized success in STEM fie

NHS doctors will typically have a significant part of their rota made up of 'long days'. The 'solution' is never 24/7, or less hyperbolic but still overly long hours, because there is a median decrease in cognitive
